SOUTH 75...Backdoor Bootleg (sessions at the sin den) *REVIEW*
SOUTH 75...BACKDOOR BOOTLEG (Sessions At The Sin Den)
1. Sinful Life/Whiskey Woman
2. Motor Jesus
3. Born To Burn
4. Downtown
When Asked JOHN KING of SIXTH FLOOR described SOUTH 75 as...
"AC/DC On Crack!"
He Was Right!
Harboring All The Rock And Roll An AC/DC Fan Can Stand SOUTH 75 Aim To Please!
With A Raw, Southern, Testosterone Filled Sound These Guys Will Rock Your Ass Live!
Pyrotechnics And Burning Guitars Are Just Part Of The Show!
JAMIE DON ESTES
On Vocals Reminds Me Of A Fucked Up
NEIL YOUNG Crossed With STEVE EARL!
GREG NEWPORT On Drums Will Rattle Your Teeth!
SHANNON CONLEY With His Almost Country TRENT REZNOR Look Keeps The Bass Thumpin'
And WILD BILL TUSSEY Packs A Mean Guitar Riff Or Two
In His Back Pocket!
Honestly If You Have Ever Heard THE SUPERSUCKERS That IS EXACTLY How SOUTH 75 Sounds Live!
But On This CD It's A Whole New Story!
Musically They Keep Up The Southern SOM BITCH Sound But Vocally This Disc Reminds Me More Of MOTORHEAD And HANOI ROCKS!
Starting Off With
SINFUL LIFE/WHISKEY WOMAN
You Can Tell These Guys Mean Business!
Shredding Guitars That ZZ TOP Would Be Envious Of And That Never Ending Beat This Is Obviously WILD TURKEY Induced!
Straight Out Of SINFUL LIFE into WHISKEY WOMAN You Can Hear A Little Rock-A-Billy JOHNNY CASH Meets NAZARETH And I Love The Little JERRY LEE LEWIS Mention!
MOTOR JESUS
Doesn't Let Up! Movin' On And On!
BORN TO BURN
You Can Tell These Guys Really Like Fire!
Not Since BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD Have I Seen Such A Fascination With The Flame!
This Is The Tune They Were Playing When
JAMIE Set His Guitar A Blaze!
How Can You Go Wrong With A Band Who'll Burn Their Shit!
And The Last Track On The Disc!
DOWNTOWN
Brings A Seventies Rock Sound TED NUGENT Would Be Proud Of!
I Have To Say..
If You Like Bands Like THE REVEREND HORTON HEAT, THE SUPERSUCKERS, LUCINDA WILLIAMS, NAZARETH, MOUNTAIN etc.. You Will Love These Guys!
